Did the Black KKK Kill Sean Taylor?

Published on December 5, 2007 in Holy Shit! Lookit This!.

I like what this guy says, read it all.

Well, when shots are fired and a black man hits the pavement, there’s every statistical reason to believe another black man pulled the trigger. That’s not some negative, unfair stereotype. It’s a reality we’ve been living with, tolerating and rationalizing for far too long.

You’re damn straight I blame hip hop for playing a role in the genocide of American black men. When your leading causes of death and dysfunction are murder, ignorance and incarceration, there’s no reason to give a free pass to a culture that celebrates murder, ignorance and incarceration.

Well, I agree, statistically most murders by black people are OF black people, just as most murders of women are by their husbands or boyfriends. (I am a true-crime junkie. I am also a Hollywood gossip addict. Strange behavior for an otherwise intelligent woman, but we have established I am puerile.)

The “black KKK”? Talk about a contradiction in terms. I love it. Didn’t they used to be Black Panthers and such, and say “kill whitey”? Only we boomers are old enough to remember that shit.

@Gretchen: that’s what makes Black KKK such a powerful term. Why is it only an African-American could write such a column?

Excellent article about responsibility and consequences. Too bad it probably won’t be read by those who need to read it.

@Catch Her In The Wry: at least he has a national audience, and is talking about it. It’s nice to have somebody other than Cosby saying this. Need others, like Jordan, Woods, Oprah, to step up.
